Chapter 4 – Making a Presentation Interactive
Make sure you use zones that match the Play File type you want to use. After setting your zone to Interactive and
dragging a Play File icon to the playlist area, the Play File window will automatically open. Here you can set the following
parameters for your List:
• State name: Create a unique name for the Play File. This name will show up in the thumbnail in the playlist area.
• Transition (Image Play Files only): Use the dropdown list to create a special effect when a user transitions to an
item in the Play File list.
• Files: This list displays files added to your Play File. Each file has a Key and File Path.
o Key: The key is the specific interactive event that will cause a transition to a particular file. Because you
define the interactive events with the keys in the Play File, you do not need to specify the events again when
creating a transition to the Play File. For example, if you define a USB Input event that links an item to the
Play File, the option to Specify USB Input will be disabled and replaced with <any>. When a user performs
an event via USB that matches a key, the corresponding file will play.
o File Path: This is the location of the file on your computer.
o Display Mode: Only Video Play Files have a display mode. By default, files are set to 2D, but if you are
using a 3D video, you can select 3D side-by-side or 3D top-over-bottom when adding your files.
